CHRISTY LEE ROGERS' "VENUS RISING" IS DONATED TO INSTITUTO GABRIEL WICKBOLD, SAO PAULO, BRAZIL

Christy Lee Rogers’ Venus Rising reimagines the birth of Venus through her signature Baroque-inspired lens. Layers of flowing silk and vivid color drift in suspended motion, as a central figure in white ascends toward the surface, her form haloed in light.

This work has been generously donated to the Instituto Gabriel Wickbold in São Paulo, Brazil with all proceeds dedicated to supporting local artists in their creative process—nurturing the next wave of visionaries in Brazil’s vibrant art community.

BODYSCAPES 17 July — 13 September 2025

What does it mean to inhabit a place—or a body? Bodyscapes begins with this question, tracing how artists approach the body not as an object, but as an environment: a mutable site shaped by memory, material experience, and emotional charge; a lived terrain.

Through the eyes of ten female artists—one working as part of a duo—the body undergoes transformations, deformations, and mutations: challenging beauty standards, mirroring the endless loop of social media validation, defying gravity in search of freedom without ever leaving itself. Some bodies remain whole, quiet, grounded, insisting on their right simply to exist. In these works, the body is a sanctuary, a space for healing and connection with the inner self and nature. Finally, the digital bodies in the exhibition reflect the same embodied approach: they speak not of escape or disembodiment, but of inhabiting the virtual realm through the body—living with it, rather than attempting to leave it behind.
